Carolina Cotton-Blend Dress

Founded in 2016 by designer Marina Cortbawi, Brooklyn-based Merlette thoughtfully crafts its garments from all natural, high-quality materials (cotton, wools and silks) with bespoke finishes — perfect for building a timeless wardrobe.

The Carolina Dress is a modern mini that balances sophistication and playfulness. Crafted from a soft cotton jacquard blend, its textured fabric adds depth to the minimalist design. The scalloped drop waist seam introduces fluidity, creating a flattering silhouette. Sleeveless and lined at the bodice for comfort, it features a keyhole at the back neckline and a discreet side zipper for a seamless fit—perfect for day-to-evening transitions.
